Yea I was trying to think of a movie like that, but I can't. Think like that superhero flick with Michael B Jordan back in the day... Where regular kids get powers.. Or even Hancock (let me explain)..
You don't always need to fight the destruction of earth.. Have big ass battles with hundreds of jobbers so we get some cool choreography and a big show of how powerful they are...
MOS is the perfect example........... Those fights and actions scenes was HITTING and you had the 4 of the most powerful people fighting. Dudes could fly, shoot lasers, lift buildings, throw semis, take on jets 1 on 1.... and yet it never got over the top, campy, lets fly from here to space and back, unleash the 150 henchmen, hey let me do the ultra destructive move to kill them all at once
Nah they was just getting busy in that thing. Almost a street fight with powers instead of large scale thing. That's what I wish both studios would try out more. Blade, Wolverine, Dark Knight, MOS type of action. If I gotta watch one more OP dude leap into battle vs the main guy and his henchmen, I'm out
Well to fair, the full quote spoke of amazing directors, less is more style... If I ranked my fav comic book movies, less is more would probably be all the top 10.... IW 1, Dr. strange, wolverine, blade, dark knight, mos, the captain americas, BP, antman, first GOTG...........
As I'm writing this, I see that's just MY style... Yea I can't do OP superheros.. I think cosmic marvel is gonna lose me completely. I need some reality and real world issues and consequences
